Personal Narrative: Working In The Plantation

This is my 10th year working in the plantation, and I finally adapt to this place. Working in the plantation was harder than I thought. Getting enough money to go back to Korea was my goal, but I guess I failed. I’m married right now, and I have 2 children already, because it’s better to make more money with 4 people than 1 person working. Even though I never wrote a letter to you guys, I really miss you guys and I will tell you about life in Oahu.
I heard that Korea is in trouble because of Japan right now and I think that’s why Japanese people and we don’t get along together. I remember promising mom to be wealthy when I go back to Korea, but I don’t think I can afford to go home right now. It was all plantation owner’s fault for making me sign a Russian plantation contract that I couldn’t even read, and I can’t repay the company back right now. To be honest, plantation life sucks because my expectations didn’t meet that much and I was hoping to get lots of money …show more content…
That’s why we can’t go on strike. In order to go on strike, we have to unite everyone, but we are kind of scared to talk to the Japanese. Since we might have to give our cultures to the Japanese people, we started to share our Korean cultures to other people. We shared Kimchi, Bibimbap, spicy rice cake, and Korean traditional games. After we shared our culture, we learned about Portuguese cultures like hula or ukulele! Chinese showed us Saimin, food, and lion dances. I really miss you guys, and I hope you guys know that I would love to go back to Korea. Even though we work hard, I think I’m kind of close to the lunas, so we don’t have to do the hardest work. Don’t worry about our family, we are doing great. If I get a chance to write a letter to you guys someday, I will talk about positive things about here. Even though I’m living like a slavery here, I still can survive this place when I think of you guys. I love
